This page contains a lot of incorrect and outdated information about my solo play "I'll Tell You This for Nothing". As the audio recording of the play is to be broadcast on RNZ National after the 7pm News on ANZAC Day, I would like it to be updated.
I can find links that are missing if you need them. Sorry if I'm unclear, or not following protocol. There are other corrections that can wait!!
Below is a piece that updates the information, to follow on from " The Scotsman's reviewer wrote that she "is a brisk and lively solo storyteller, and her facility for accents helps her paint a picture of those times through its characters, particularly when she inhabits her wide-eyed young Irish mother and the much older woman reminiscing with the young Kate."
The Adelaide Advertiser, who named I'll Tell You This for Nothing as Best Female Solo Theatre Show for Sunday Mail Fringe Awards 2020 wrote “Superb performance by Kate JasonSmith telling the story of her mother Phyllis, who was honoured with France's highest decoration, the Legion d"Honneur, for her bravery in WWII. Engaging hour that took you into the theatre of war and the affairs of the heart.” https://katejasonsmith.com/reviews.php
In 2019 KJS Productions published the playscript of I'll Tell You This for Nothing – My Mother the War Hero including a postscript with extra stories from Phyllis’s life. This is available through Playmarket and is in many New Zealand Public Libraries.
In 2020 Kate gave a Command Performance for Dame Patsy Reddy of I'll Tell You This for Nothing at Government House in Wellington, to mark the anniversay of the the liberation of Belsen.
Kate performed I'll Tell You This for Nothing in 2022 for a 4 week season at Circa Theatre, as part of a double-bill named “His/Herstory” with Jan Bolwell performing her own solo about her father in WWII: “Milord Goffredi.”
On ANZAC DAY 2025, Radio New Zealand National broadcast an audio of I'll Tell You This for Nothing, recorded live at Circa Theatre in 2022. Katejs (talk) 21:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
